Another issue: I think it is pretty pointless to define the
replacement delimiters in a config file. I think they should
have a resonable default and be defined to non-default values
in the particular template that is using the non-default
value.

Perhaps as follows: If the first line of the template file
is a magic comment {{* delim word1 word2 word3 *}} as in

{{* delim << >> \ *}}

then word1 is being used as the opening delimiter, word2 as
the closing delimiter and word3 as the escape prefix. That is,
within that file, <<$blah>> can be used as a placeholder for
the variable $bla and \<< can be used to output << literally.
